Greg A. Vital, Morning Pointe president and co-founder, shared, “Morning Pointe Senior Living believes in serving not only our senior residents but also our wider communities. Inflation has been climbing, and it’s harder for people to afford groceries, especially senior citizens and families. As we approach the holidays, we invite everyone who can to join us in supporting The Samaritan Center in this food drive.”

Founded in 1997 by Vital and Franklin Farrow, Morning Pointe Senior Living owns and operates 40 assisted living and Alzheimer’s memory care communities in five southeastern states. These include six campuses in Chattanooga, Collegedale, East Hamilton and Hixson.
